The Life is about Learning LMS is suitable for every stage from K to Year 12 but in varying degrees and for different purposes as outlined below.
K - 2
For Kinders to Year 2, the Life LMS is generally used as a repository for easy access to a range of resources such as websites, YouTube videos and files. There are some innovative teachers who place more emphasis of the functionality and purpose of Life and have their students logging in everyday and have them contributing to class blogs and posts. The functionality of the platform provides many benefits to families in this regard as they have a safe and secure educational environment that highlights current areas of study and focus by the class opening the doors for improved parental involvement in their child(s) education.
Years 3 - 6
The Years 3 - 6 classes generally start to develop more collaboration and engagement through the utilisation of the typical web 2.0 tools such as the wikis, forums and posties. Such collaboration offers more personalised and engagement for the students and allows for peer co construction, feedback opportunities, working in groups, working on specific areas as experts, and easy accessible data for teachers.

That said, some high school teachers do see the benefit of ease of access to resources on Life, as well as hosting videos and generating questions around the concepts as seen below in a secondary Science class.
